@rrhoover dude! I want to help with the PH podcast. Check out Work Smart to get a sense for my podcasting chops and let me know if you're game to explore 😁 - would be fun! https://m.soundcloud.com/worksmart
Hi, Product Hunt!
Since we launched Anchor 2.0 right here on Product Hunt back in March, we’ve witnessed so much awesome audio being created on the platform. Whether our creators are capturing voice, taking call-ins from listeners, conducting remote interviews with anyone, or broadcasting full length songs from from Apple Music or Spotify, it’s been incredibly exciting to see how creative people have gotten with our new tools.
However, one of the biggest things we hear from people all the time is that they want to take their Anchor audio and turn it into a podcast. With today’s release, we’re making that possible. Not only can you now turn your Anchor station into a permanent episode with a single tap, but you can also immediately distribute your episodes as a podcast on all major podcast providers.
The entire experience happens on your phone, so all you have to focus on is creating audio. Anchor handles all the rest. We really wanted to make this the easiest way to create and share a podcast, and we *think* we’ve accomplished that. So if you’ve ever wanted to make a podcast, but didn’t want to deal with the technical hurdles or inconvenience of having to host and submit RSS feeds, this update is for you.
I’ll be here answering questions all day. Thanks for trying Anchor!
@mignano How much vendor lockin is there on the platform? Is it possible to use Anchor as a podcast host today, knowing there's a backup option to switch away if things don't work out?
As an existing podcaster and recent Anchor host I am very excited about this. To @rrrhoover point as easy as podcasting has gotten over years it is still a lot of work, and this will make it so much simpler!
As a big podcats listener I always wanted to make one of my own, but never had the time to dive into all the things around it. Gonna give this a go!
What it says in the title.... simple way to make a podcast from your phone.
BIG from Anchor, I'll let the team take over!

When Anchor 2.0 launched, I knew all that practicing to make my voice sound better would pay off! Very excited to try this out.
How are songs from Apple Music + Spotify handled when uploading your Anchor show to a major podcast provider?
Will you be able to submit/find podcasts created in Anchor through podcast apps like Apple Podcasts or Overcast?
@quiethabits Yes, absolutely!
Here's an Apple Podcasts example: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podc...
And here's an Overcast example: https://overcast.fm/itunes125315...
@mignano this is so awesome! Any plans to monetize in the future? And I mean this in two ways - 1. Any future plans for premium features? 2. Opportunities for broadcasters to monetize with ads/subs/etc.?
@jay_bee12345 Yes - Recording on Anchor is a breeze with AirPods (and is my personal recording method of choice)!
@mignano Nice! Thanks for clarifying!! PS- I would love to see Anchor Podcasts on Landing pages as a guide for newcomers through the website. This will be much more convenient than a video demos for both Businesses and Customers... As it's simpler to create and it's better to have audio guides rather than videos you have to visually pay attention to... Thanks for reading! JB.
Podcasts for everyone :) This is brilliant, looking forward to giving this a spin.
Slightly unrelated: I really enjoyed the "Thanks" at the end of the video. Not sure why...
